Hello, so I recently caught a female Geolycosa Rafaelana from her burrow and I've actually had a species of this before. My issue is with the spider. I have the spider in a deep container with about 5 or 6 inches of substrate to burrow with as well as some ground litter so the spider can use it around the outside of the burrow. Issue is, the spider is constantly trying to climb the walls of the enclosure day through night and never stops. As said I've had this species before in other containers and all of said species constantly attempts to climb and get out of the enclosure constantly. Due to this the spider refues to burrow, or, if I premake one, they will not reside in it. I'm not sure why this is. The substrate is grabbed right from the mountains which I obtained them from. They have air, food and water. So I'm confused why the spider is constantly attempting to climb the enclosure 24/7 as opposed to burrowing. If anyone has any knowledge on burrowing spiders or even better burrowing wolf spiders like Geolycosa, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
